"Oh, come on. No Steve Miller? 'Keep on a rocking me baby?'" So close, but 1976.

Mr. Roboto could be the greatest song of the 80s. So multi-cultural.

Desperado and Witchy Woman are my songs.
I guess those are before the 80s, though.

What the Hell happened to Stevie Wonder?
“Innervisions” was one of the greatest albums ever made, and then we does insipid crap like “I Just Called (To Say I Love You)”

And how does anyone not like this classic?
Maybe the most iconic song of its generation ... distinctively American, and brings me right back to my long road trips through what is now "Trump Country" ... and even became a fixture in one of the best ad campaigns in history for Chevy trucks:
Bob Seger -- Like A Rock
Best slide guitar from anyone not affiliated with the Allman Brothers, in my humble opinion. :-)

LOL, that was my addition too. George Michael pretty much sucks all around.

Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" Drives me up the wall. I can only imagine what "Shout" does to you.

I thought he could see better than he sings.

I personally disagree with most of these selections. In fact, I love a lot of these songs... I like the large majority of them.

Agreed. It’s a pointless exercise anyway; it’s like discussing the 10 worst fashions, or the 10 worst haircuts - from 40 years ago!
The times were what they were...

Any worst song compilation that does NOT include “The Pina Colada Song” is insufficient on its face.

Worst songs of the ‘80s...
All of them, every last one of them and I’m not saying that because I’m unhip old fart, I grew up from my teens to my 20s in the 1980s and I hated every last song that came out of that decade. It’s what I like to call “The MTV music holocaust” because before MTV they sold music on how good it was. When MTV came along the industry realized they didn’t have to have quality to sell anymore, all they needed was a catchy video. Music went from being based on sound to being based on image and it’s never been the same since with a few exceptions. Someone like Madonna would have never ever had a career in a million years with that whiny shrieking voice of hers if it wasn’t for MTV.

Someone did a funny parody called “Marty Feldman Eyes”.

I think "Walk Like An Egyptian" at least deserves honorable mention here...

When your name is “Taco” it’s all uphill from there.
